Key insights
  • Complimentary measures are vital to the success of ETS2; carbon pricing alone is insufficient.
  • Member states have a responsibility to implement additional policies promptly.
  • In the U, most transport emissions are linked to road transport, while over a third of energy emissions come from buildings.
  • Member states can significantly impact building emissions by speeding up renovations for energy efficiency.
  • Transitioning to renewable heating systems, such as heat pumps or district heating, is crucial for buildings.
  • For road transport, a shift to electric vehicles and the development of necessary infrastructure is essential.
